“The plan with Sony picking up the film is that they are looking for a theatrical release,” Steve Campanella said.

Campanella, who heads the Cleveland-based Belltower Productions, is serving as a production supervisor for the film, which began a planned month-long shooting schedule in the Lorain County area recently.

Described as a comedy about a foul-mouthed ex-gymnastics medalist fighting for her celebrity status when challenged by a rising young star, “The Bronze” stars Rauch, who is a principal of the ensemble cast of CBS-TV’s hit “The Big Bang Theory” sitcom.

The film co-stars Gary Cole, whose extensive credits include “Office Space” and scores of TV appearances on series including “The West Wing,” “The Good Wife,” “Family Guy” and “Veep”; Sebastian Stan (“The Black Swan” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”); and Cecily Strong (“Saturday Night Live”).
